    D&D General 5E Survivor: Named Dragons - BAHAMUT SHINES!

    Not a single Dragonlance dragon on this list. You all doing my boy Khellendros dirty. Most certainly a Great Wyrm, survived many different wars and single-handedly helped a goddess steal a planet. He get's all of the points in my mind, but seeing as I'm stuck with what's listed here: Aasterinian...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knights: how do you begin a fight?

    Yes, as many have stated it various depending on the specific fight. I personally and running an altered version of the class where we nerfed storm rune from being blatantly overpowered to just "spend a reaction to grant advantage or disadvantage to ONE d20 die roll" and removed the level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was the Rune Knight (in Tasha's) "over-nerfed"?

    Meanwhile I'm just sitting over here reading this and thinking that unless that mage has subtle spell, he is not by rules of the game itself "unseen" after casting a spell with a verbal component and therefore targetable to try and break concentration. Behind cover and maybe being attacked at...

    D&D General When did we first hear of "The Weave" in FR, or elsewhere?

    It is definitely originally only a Forgotten Realms thing, until the recent stuff of 5th Ed started trying to sort of homogenize / galvanize elements from all the settings to sort of unify them a bit. As a long time Dragonlance fan who did not even read many FR books until recently I wasn't even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Impacts of allowing using a HD to reduce Exhaustion during a short rest break?

    Honestly I wouldn't expect it to break the game. If anything handing out levels of exhaustion so cavalierly will have a far worse impact on the game as a whole as it is currently incredibly hard to remove exhaustion. Regarding the berserker barbarian. There have been numerous threads to suggest...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Nexus Posts Tasslehoff's Pouches of Everything

    A decent product. I'll likely still be using my own homebrew built ruleset and stuff for the setting, but a solid work for a fan compilation. There are a few minor things I do find odd: 1) I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't just make Dimernesti and Dargonesti the same...

    D&D General The Sad Tale of a HeroForge Death Knight

    I cannot speak for the colored ones, though we have ordered three Figures of the premium plastic option. All were well done, though the occasional fragile issues are to be noted. My girlfriends sorcerer arrived and had it's arm promptly fall off the moment after we took it out of the box...

    D&D 5E (2014) What if healing spells only created Temp HP?

    My entire first two paragraphs are directly related to your quote, which is why I quoted you. I want to know what builds your players are becuase you are making claims they got to level 15 just fine and therefore arguing that healing is not needed in 5e because of it. I happen to largely agree...

    D&D 5E (2014) What if healing spells only created Temp HP?

    I would also like to know what their exact builds are as well. I'd argue a group with a Life Cleric or any other healing focused subclass is at a serious detriment in keeping up with groups who do not such a character if they do not use any healing (magical or otherwise) in combat. You can have...

    D&D 5E (2014) What if healing spells only created Temp HP?

    So my only thoughts from a mechanical standpoint: 1) Consider implementing house rules for more advanced medical technology, mundane healing and frankly technology in general. Crafting will certainly be a big part of this. Even if you are trying to simulate a "historically accurate" medieval...

    D&D General GM : Spellcaster Arms Race

    The thing is, the only time I've ever had to employ those tactics is whenever a player decides to roll a character that is heavily optimized or min/maxed, and honestly even then I often find the martial characters to be the more frustrating if optimized. At least the archmage can counter a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    As Zio said, a lot has changed with it, though the core of the program is still the same as it's always been. I do recommend anyone who wishes to try it to seok out the d&d 5e framework someone made for it, as well as looking up how to make a quick damage/healing macro and it's pretty much good...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    I use MapTools because it's free, I've been using it on and off for nearly a decade (obligatorily shakes cane and tells the younger VTT kids to get off his lawn), I'm too cheap to spending any money on a program, and I'm only using really heavily using digital maps because I've no other choice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dhampir PCs as Vampire Hunters

    I have a player in my Dragon Heist game that is basically playing a homebrewed version of the Dhampir now (we used half-elf as a base). He went shadow sorcerer and I gave him some vampire related facials as sort of a "magic item". His backstory is that he's the son of a Dread Lord of shadow fell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the Artificer Suck?

    Precisely this. The problem isn't the paladin or the artificer, it because their DM was foolish enough to use rolled states for their game in the first place, and then expect any sort of balancing to be possible after. Rolling stats is not balanced by design.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha's Optional Class Features - Using Them or Not?

    Not only did we incorporate all of them, we also have incorporated some of the class features that didn't make the official cut, with about 3 of our players declaring they will officially riot if not allowed to use the spell swapping feature for sorcerer/bard/warlock and the other learned casters.

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    There are no actual house rules in 5e that I would label as required, which is saying a lot about the system as a whole compared to previous editions. That said, there are a few things I would likely never run a game without using: 1) Feats and giving players a starting feat at 1st level. They...

    D&D General What would a succubus say?

    "Aw, you did miss me!" When she is hit in combat: "groans Harder!" "You know, they say each of our kind falls in love with only one person, I think it might be you..." (she needs to say this to quite a few people)
